ABC’s The Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and Fiancé Bryan Abasolo Reveal Their Wedding Registry on The Knot

The Couple’s Registry Includes Kitchen and Home Classics From Popular
Brands Like Cuisinart, Vitamix and Dyson; Cash Funds for Their Honeymoon
and Shared Experiences; Plus a Charity Registry for a Cause Close to
Their Hearts

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ABC’s The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay and her fiancé Bryan
Abasolo today revealed their wedding registry on The
Knot Registry, powered by The
Knot, the leading wedding planning and registry resource in the US.
The couple, who recently moved in together and are getting married this
summer, chose to start their new life together with a variety of kitchen
and home must-haves from top retailers; cash funds for their honeymoon
and shared experiences, like a cooking class for two; and a charity
registry for the Alzheimer’s Association, a cause close to their hearts.

“Wedding planning has been really exciting for us, and registering for
our wedding has probably been one of the top highlights! I would
definitely say, as women, we get excited to push buttons, but it’s
important to include your significant other in the process,” said
Rachel. “By using The Knot Registry, Bryan and I were able to visit our
favorite retail stores and physically look at and touch items (plus use
that coveted scanner!) and also add to and manage all of our wedding
registries together at home or on the go. We also had the option to
create cash funds and a charity fund, which was so important to us.”

The Knot Registry allows couples to seamlessly create and manage an
all-in-one registry with everything from cash funds and experiences, to
retail products and charities. Couples are never limited in their
wedding registry picks, and guests can easily discover and purchase
wedding gifts hand-selected by the to-be-weds when they search the
couple’s name at TheKnot.com/registry/couplesearch.

“The Knot Registry’s all-in-one capabilities allow couples like Rachel
and Bryan to really dive into their wedding registry on their own
terms,” said Kristen Maxwell Cooper, editor in chief of The Knot.
“Whether couples want to fully create and manage their registries
online, physically scan products in person at their local retailers, or
create multiple cash funds to help them fund fun experiences—like a
couple’s cooking class—couples are truly able to create a custom
registry unique to them on The Knot. We’re thrilled to see that Rachel
and Bryan have included a mix of staple products to make their new house
a home, along with fun activities they can enjoy together as newlyweds.”

Rachel and Bryan are especially excited about outfitting their new home
together. When asked about some of their favorite products on their
wedding registry, many of them included kitchen and other home
appliances. “The Vitamix is all Bryan,” noted Rachel. “We drink a lot of
smoothies, and Bryan is very into juicing. Also, when I was on The
Bachelor, it showed me vacuuming with the Dyson. That was my
sister’s vacuum, and I thought to myself, ‘You know what? I’m going to
put this on my registry because that’s how the world met me at first:
dancing with a vacuum.’”

Along with products from registry retailers, Rachel and Bryan have
included options from The
Knot Cash Funds, which allows guests to contribute to their
honeymoon (the couple is planning to honeymoon somewhere romantic and
relaxing by the water)—whether that’s a couples massage on the beach,
dinner for two one night, a sunset catamaran cruise, or cocktails to
kick off their celebration—and experiences like a cooking class they’d
like to take together.

The couple also chose The
Knot Gifts Back, which is the only charity registry program that
donates to charities on behalf of couples at no extra cost to their
guests. Through The Knot Gifts Back, The Knot donates a portion of the
cost of each eligible gift purchased through a couple’s registry on The
Knot to a charity of their choice. Rachel and Bryan chose the
Alzheimer’s Association, a cause that personally resonates with Rachel
and has impacted many members of her family.

“There’s so many things that I’m passionate about, and the hardest thing
for me was to pick a charity. I wanted to pick something that strikes a
chord with me and means something to me,” said Rachel. “Alzheimer’s is a
disease that has affected a number of people in my family—either they’re
going through it now, or it’s taken their lives. My grandmother had it,
her sisters had it, and my aunt had it—they won’t be with me physically
to celebrate this day with me. That’s why it was so important to give
back to this charity and what better way to do it than through The Knot
Gifts Back.”
